【中国禁闻】天安门广场孔子像为何消失

【新唐人2011年4月26日讯】今年1月刚刚树立在天安门广场东侧的孔子塑像，前几天突
然消失，在海内外多家中文媒体的询问下，原来孔子像被移到国家博物馆雕塑园内。大
陆当局为什么要立孔子像，又为什么要搬走孔子像？请看详细报导。

位于天安门广场东侧、国家博物馆北门前的孔子塑像今年1月刚刚落成，但是这座9.5米
高的塑像在4月21号突然被搬走，原来的位置被蓝色挡板遮了起来。

据国家博物馆负责人介绍，孔子塑像被迁移到国家博物馆雕塑园内。雕塑园在国家博物
馆内西侧北庭院，�人们很少到达。从国家博物馆北门口，搬入雕塑园，孔子塑像恰好
在天安门广场竖立了一百天。

从孔子像一落成，就曾引发很大争议。香港《东方日报》报导，因毛主席纪念堂就在天
安门广场，天安门城楼还有毛泽东巨幅画像，而毛泽东一生反对孔孟之道，到晚年还发
动一场「批林批孔」运动。因此有网友笑言：「两个死对头同处一个广场，天下奇观。
」

报导说，当时也有学者质疑，官方想藉着孔子重建社会道德，作为传统文化的标识，但
立像做法徒具表面。

著名记者、作家铁流分析认为，虽然在历史上，中共在每个重要时期都是以打倒孔
子，来实现他们的政治和文化的目地，但今年1月搬出孔子来，说明，现在的中共当局
想借孔子的理论，来帮助他们实现"和谐社会"。

铁流（中国作家）："从五四运动到打倒孔家店，一直到毛泽东的文化大革命，都打倒
孔子，造反时讲打倒孔子，革命讲打倒孔子。中国变成了不讲仁义、不讲道德、不讲忠
孝。共产主义行不通了，咱们把孔子搬出来吧，咱们要讲仁义、讲道德、讲诚实。"

在孔子像落成后，因为地处要道，经常有民众拍照，更有老师和学生集体对孔子像献
花、鞠躬等。无论男女老幼、社会阶层，很多中国人表示孔子像令他们感到五千年的中
华传统文化在内心里复苏。

铁流："结果一抬出来以后又遭到'遵毛派'的反对，天安门一边是毛泽东一边是孔
子，这两个根本是冰炭，一个是冰一个是炭，一个是火一个是水，根本不行的，打架
的，最后打的是毛派胜利了，把孔子请回去了。"

中国问题专家胡星斗也向《东方日报》表示，事件反映了中国当局目前价值观混乱。目
前，在大陆正在推广重庆唱红歌的经验，铁流认为，这是社会发展的倒退。他说，中国
只有走民主、法制的道路，才是解决社会问题的根本方法。

Confucius Statue Removed from Tian'anmen

A Confucius statue erected on Tian'anmen Squarein January disappeared a few
days ago.Various media made inquiries, and discoveredthe status was moved
in the National Museum.Why did the Chinese authority erect the statue?Why
was it removed?

The Confucius statue was finished in January,placed on the east side of
Tian'anmen Square,to the north of the National Museum.On April 21, the
9.5-meter high statuewas removed, its site blocked by blue boards.

Staff from National Museum confirmed thatthe statue was moved to the
sculpture roomin the northwest part of the museum.Few people visit this
part of the museum.From outside the museum to the inside,the statue stayed
on the Square for 100 days.

The statue drew attention from the beginning.Hong Kong based Oriental Daily
saidMao's memorial and photo have beenon Tian'anmen Square.Mao was against
Confucius,and mobilized a criticism against him.Netizen call it "two
enemies on the same square."

According to Oriental Daily, some scholarsSuspect the authority wants to
use Confuciusto re-establish society's morality.But setting a statue is
only superficial.

According to Tie Liu, a well-known writer,the communist party criticized
Confucius beforeto achieve its political and cultural goals.Now the party
digs up Confucius, wantingto use him to achieve its "harmonious society."

Tie Liu: "From May 4th to criticismagainst Confucius and Cultural
Revolution -all movements knocked down Confuciusin the name of rebellion or
revolution.The Chinese [regime] doesn't care forbenevolence, morality,
loyalty or filial piety.Communism did not work, now they dig outConfucius,
[using him to] preach morality.

After the Confucius statue was erected,many people took photos of it,
andteachers and students presented flowers to it.People old or young from
different walks of lifesaid Confucius statue arouses their desireto revive
the Chinese cultural tradition.

Tie Liu: "But opposition came from Mao followers.Mao on one side, Confucius
on the other sideof the Square, like ice and fire, water and fire.It does
not work, and Mao won.Confucius was moved inside."

China expert Hu Xingdou said to Oriental Daily,this shows Chinese
authority's chaotic values.Chongqing city is promoting revolutionary
songs,which is going backward, said Tie Liu.Tie said only democracy and law
can helpresolve social problems in China.
